"the word satta I guess comes from sanskrit sattva"
Iyah,when the i say "i guess", how certain are you that this is correct.
Its not that i am saying you are incorrect.
I never reasoned with ones about this,but according to mine own reasoning,i always assumed that this word was derived from the Amharic
"satta amasagana", meaning, Give thanks
and from that,came "satta" which means to relay the idea of "calm down,dont fret or worry,the outcome is not in your hands but in the Fatherīs,so just give thanks"
i always thought it was so beautiful how one little word can describe so much
lol, have i been assuming wrong all these years?
perhaps
just to note, satta amasagana, is a bit innacurate
Actually, the ones who first popularised thay saying in their song "Satta Amasagana", the Abyssinians, realised later on that they were incorrect in their usage of the amharic, and so years later,they made another version of the same song with better Amharic.
The correct way to say it is "Set Mesgana"
or phonetically
S-he-t M-he-s-gana
